Has anyone encountered this problem? I have a M818, which comes with a Spicer 6453 OD transmission. While tracking down air leaks with soapy water, I noticed a BIG air leak today. The truck couldn't build air pressure above 30 psi because it kept dumping everything out in the transmission via...
Here is my "last spin" filter conversion. This involves a 3/16" thick steel plate cut and drilled to fit on the inside, driver side fender below the power steering pump. I used fender washers on all points where the plate steel is bolted to the sheet metal. You can barely see them in the last...
Today, I replaced my batteries with 2 new 8D-6 batteries, made a triple ought gauge cable to connect the two, and I've installed one of those Keyed ignition switches. I also found 2 loose/worn out wire connectors going to the ignition switch. Those loose wires are now on my "next to do list"...
Tell me about it Tinstar. I bought my truck from a guy who thought it was indestructible. When he found out it wasn't, after doing the damage to it, he then sold it. Now I'm fixing more and more of the truck, than I am doing overdue maintenance. I'm now convinced he tried to ford the...
Take this lesson from a guy who's had a steer tire blow out at 65 MPH. I drive a drayage rig around Memphis. Having a steer tire blow is bad news. If you don't want to keep the run flats in the rear, I don't see any problem with that, but KEEP them in the front!! When these military tires blow...
I too would like to see the failed one. When that one did fail, did it separate and allow the dog bone and axle to move out it's alignment the way a stock one would? I'm curious about this.
My catch tank is a 7.75 gallon pony keg with a very large funnel. It used to be a fuel cell for a sand rail. It's what I had on hand so I didn't have to spend any extra money, but it was still funny to me when the plug popped out. It happened Soooo fast, and A LOT of oil poured out on him. LOL
I ended up getting a new drain plug too. Mine was worn out! It took a pneumatic impact, a 2 foot long pipe wrench, and a propane torch to take mine out when I changed the oil. On the plus side, I learned some new curse words when the plug came out (thankx to the impact). LOL roflMy Father was...
I'm running Microsoft edge. I don't know if Edge is the same is Internet Explorer. Anyways, I have cleared the cookies, run all the malware scans etc. and now I have everything is back to normal. Thankx patracy for merging these two threads together. That made things a little easier for me when...
I would feel better about this upgrade if I could see an exploded view of these torque rod ends. I would like to know how they are put together. It would be a shame if they are just pressed together. Other than that, it looks like a good.
What has happened tot he site? There is no logo, no search feature, and it's almost impossible to navigate. In the top right hand corner there is a Letter V, then the word Bulletin. On the right there is a calculator that does nothing, and a magnifying glass that does nothing. What is going on?
My Father and were just talking about that. I was thinking of maybe switching down a tire size or two. Maybe down to the 14.00r20's, or maybe down to 395/85R20 Michelin XZL's. Anyways that won't be happening anytime soon unless I come across a VEERY good deal on some tires, and or wheels.
Those are two of my favorite colors too. I couldn't get a new fuel hose made today, but I got the filters mounted anyways. I had to get an adapter to fit the original fittings, and these adapters increased the width by another 2 inches. I can see new adapters in the future to reduce the overall...
